[ FROM THE GLOUCESTER JOURNAL] We have great satisfaction in stating that the law.: less proceedings which have lately disturbed the. tranquillity of the Forest, have at length heeri effectually- stopped, though, unfortunately, not until the mischief, originally contemplated by the misguided men who have been active in these disgraceful scenes, has been almost w holly accomplished. Uutil Satur- day evening, the rioters were fully nnd uninterruptedly employed in their work of destruction ; arid xvc are informed that fenced stud embankments to the ex'tenl; of nearly fifty miles, were either coriifTletelv levelled or rendered perfectly useless. On Sunday, " however, a military force arrived at Coleford, ahd on the fol- lowing day the Duke of Beaufort, Ihe Mart) Hit of* Worcester, the High Sheriff of the county, an/ I a numerous body of Magistrates and influential gen- tlemen, assembled together; and stich energetic means were adopted, in vindication of the law, s, as seemed at once to bring the Foresters to a |> r. oper sense of the delusion under which they had herii led stray. On the approach of the military, tbe rioters fled in all directions; anil we understand that offers of surrender were majle, provided bail would he accepted. fofr Ihe offenders. This proposal, however, was most properly rejected, and lincoinptohiisihg means were taken for securing the persons, of the ringleaders. In the course of Monday and Tuesday several persons were takefi, and amongst them Warreri James, the active leader of the rioters. This mail, with another, named Thomas Birt, have been fully committed and safely conveyed to cur county >; aoi, and. will be tried at our next Assizes. Several ofher persons, who had not made theipselye* equally pro- minent, were adrrtitted to bail. Under such circum- stances, and as good order is happily now re- established, we abstain from making any lengthened comment, but having referred to the Acts of Parliament under which the Forest inclusurc* were made, we. would wish earnestly to impress upon the minds of the in- habitants of that populous district— a class of men hitherto particularly conspicuous for their orderly, honest, aiid industrious habits,— that those legislative enactments contain nothing which can at all justify the violent measures which have unfortunately b< tit recently adopted.— The following particulars are front a correspondent: — " Forest of Dean; June 15, 1831.— The very silly and destructive proceedings of the ininers and colliers have at length been toniplelely checked, by the arrival in the Forest of a military force of an cfteclive nature. A detachment of the Third Dragoon Guards rode into Coleford on Sunday, which on Monday morning was made the rendezvous of the Magistrates of the district in considerable numbers, which' meeting was also attended by the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Lieutenant of tlie County, and the Marquis of Wor- cester. It is said that the Foresters proposed to sur- render their ringleaders to take their trials, if they might be admitted to bail, bitt this proposal of course was rejected. It was then hinted that the most desperate resistance woifld be made; hut the Magis- trates very properly disregarded these menaces, an « l the military, Under their orders, went out in different directions: but long before their arrival at the spot where the depredations had been continued, ( ho ground was completely cleared, the rioters having fled in all directions. The services of the military were therefore necessarily confined to the apprehen. sion of a few of the known ringleaders, some of ivhoin were taken on Monday, and brought into Coleford. Warren James himself was caught yesterday evening • he had taken refuge in a coal- pit near Bream, lint he was betrayed by his own followers. He was tricked out of his hiding place by the allowable cunnirtg of the officers who accompanied the detachment, and was immediately secured. He was brought fo Cole- ford without the slightest attempt at resistance on the part of anyone; and examined this day, and ulti- mately sent off to Gloucester " The damage which has been done will, it is sup- posed, occasion air Cxpcnse of i'l3,000 to repair, exclusive of the injury which may be done to the young timber. The Magistrates hate, howetef, given notice, that Ihe Forest will, according to ancient custom, be driven next 20th June, wlieii ( lie f,- nce- month will begin : so that the Foresters will find that their Zeal for the restoration of their ancient privileges, has led inevitably to the deprivation of many licenccs which they had enjoyed. They now affect to sat that they have been deceived hy Warren James, in his assunn'cc that the King, and ( lie Duke of Beaufortj dud other great personages, warrant their " opening the Forest." It is unnecessary Ut say- that ( he parsonages implicated had not ( he slightest difficulty in shewing the utter falsehood and absurdity of ( he changes. Any further observations relative til men in custody would of course be improper. Per- haps, however, it may he permitted to express a wish, that while punishment is inflicted on the iiistiga( ors of tumult, an examination may take place into the privileges of Ihe Foresters, and that such as they have gradually, and perhaps unintentionally, been deprived Of, may he restored to them i and persons appointed in their behalf, to protect them from similar encroach- ments in future. The restitnlion of ( he Forest and . VI ine Courts is iidiat ( he miners themselves desire, which has now been discontinued many years, " The Forest is now iu j( s usual stale of tranntiillity, although detachments of soldiers are occasionally- sent out to take persons who are pointed out as ring, leaders. No injury has been done to the rail roads, and, ( lie rioters row assert, that none was ever intended." MONTGOMERYSHIRE. VALUABLE ESTATE OF FREEHOLD. RY IHR.

Chairman of ( he Quarter Sessions, J. B. Bruce, and Waiter Collin, Esqrs. and the Rev. George Thomas, Magistrates acting for the Hundred of Caerphilly, ten prisoners ( many of them principal ringleaders," all deeply im- plicated in the late disgraceful riots) were sent in coaches to the County Gaol at Cardiff, escorted bj parties of foot soldiers, anil the 3d Dragoon Guards Among the ring leaders were Lewis Lewis ( the Hunts, man), 1): it'irl Jones alias Dai Solomon, Ri hard l. ewir, alias Dick Penderrin, William Thomas Williams, flag, bearer, Phelps ( a pensioner!), David Richard-, well known at Mcrlhyr as the person with whom ( ha notorious Betsy Paul lived, & c. & c. On Saturday Ihe Clia innau and Mr. Bruce were engaged iu inves tigating the Hirwain and Aherdare cases, wbicli will be followed up in the ensuing week — In many cases al Hirwain, we understand, as many as 15 or it) men oil armed with guns drew up in a line opposite ( bi- shops, demanding gunpowder, and openly avowed the uses lo which ( hey meant to apply it ! !* Can any thing iu Ireland exceed the lawless audacity of such proceedings ?

R BILL. i" Tlie Bishop of BATH uud WELLS presented a fieti- tiou from tlie Clergy of liis diocese against llie Beer Bill, iu which llie petitioners complained of the great increase of pauperism aud demoralization oc- casioned by tbat measure, lie called ou the Ruble nud Learned Lord on the woolsack to bring the Bill under the consideration of parliament, w ilh tbe view to ils amendment or repeal.— Tbe Karl ol MALMF. SBLRY thought there was a possibility of applying a remedy lo the evils of tbe bill. He con- ceived ul least tbat tbe magistrates should huve a i- onlrmil iner the beer- houses.— Viscount V. F. L- IMTIRN agreed that some melioration should lake place on the subject ; at. the same time he could not help thinking that the'statement made of the sud- den demoralization said to have taken place iu con- sequence of the bill was a most fallacious statement. As to giving magistrates power over such houses, be did not see how thai could be effected without completely repealing Ibe measure, lie, however, considered thai if seme police regulations were adopted, it would be attended with the best results, and he promised thai Ibe attention of tbe govern, went should be given lo the subject.— Lord TEYN- 11 AM felt convinced that the evils resulting from Ihe bill could not be remedied until there was a repeal of Ihe Watt and Hop duties —- The . Marquis of SALISBURY believed ihe demoralizing effects bad been j roduced by Ihe cheapness of the article. In bis part of tbe country almost the whole of tbe l^ er- housi s were in the bands of the brewers. '(' he 1 ORD CHANCELLOR assured the Right Rev. Prelate that no pains should be wanting on bis part in examining the defects of the system. He trusted however, that any alteration that might be made M ould only be in llie superintending and controlling power ; he considered tbat it was not necessary to alter the greater principles of tbe bill — After a few observations from other noble lords, the petition lias read aud the subject dropped. in Ihe course of Ihe conversation, the Right Rev. Prelate ( the Bishop of Bath and Wells) took occa- sion lo state lhat he could not give his' assent to the Reform Bill; be thought some reform necessary, but not lo so great au extent. POOR l. AV/ i. T he Marquis of SALISBURY gave notice that he should move, on an early day, for the renewal of the Committee on the Poor Laws.— Viscount MEL- BOURN would not pledge tbe government to mea- sures which could do no good; the subject of the Poor Laws had produced much diversity of opinion. Without, bow ever, pledging them, Tic would say that llieir attention bad been called to Ihe employment of the poor with a view lo Ihe accomplishment of that object.— The 1 ORD CHANCELLOR added, that an attempt would be made to do something on Ihe subject of local distress, and tbat Ihe present Session, short as it might be, would not be suffered to pass over Million! some steps being taken. It was desir- able lhat a measure should be adopted to provide labour and facilitate emigration, and a bill was about to be submitted by government. It was also Hie intention of Ministers to go a step further, and prevent Ihe recurrence of those sad scenes which bad impressed upon Ihe government the absolute necessity of providing for Ibe surplus population. With rcspect to Ihe Poor Laws. il was the desire of Ibe Ministry lo do something, but not iu the present session, lu Ihe next a bill would be brought in to consolidate pud amend the Poor Laws. He said thus much to rescue himself aud colleagues from any charge of supineness 011 the great interests of the community at large. HOUSE OF COMMONS. ADDRESS TO THE KING. The bringing up the Report of tbe Address on the Speech gave rise to considerable desultory dis- cussion.— Mr. HUME observed lhat if new taxation were contemplated lo supply Ihe deficiency in Ihe revenue, he should oppose any such proposition. The CHANCEL'. OR ofthe EXCHEQUER replied that new taxes were nol contemplated, though there was a slight deficit in Ibe revenue from a considerable repeal of taxes— retrenchment would effect the purpose of making the revenue equal lo the ex- penditure; but it was his intention lo renew the proposition of duties which had been brought for- ward last session— namely, ihe alterations of the duty on raw Cotton and ou Wines. The justice of the lax 011 transfers, and of I lie proposed changes ofthe duties on timber, lie still maintained; but after Ihe feeling and votes they had called forth he should uot renew thejr proposition. , HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The ARCHBISHOP of. CANTERBURY brought in his Tithe Composition Bill, which was read a first time; and Lord DACRE expressed his intention of submitting a bill fur the equitable Commutation of Tithes. Mis Grace intimated bis intention of enter- ing into an explanation of the. provisions of bis bill ou Ihe motion for its second reading— Earl GRE\ observed lhal—" It certainly was of the greatest importance lo endeavour to establish some system respecting tithes ( on the rights connected with which 110 one could entertain any doubt), which • night have the effect of remedying the evils that were produced by tbe present system. It was a subject to which he would give his most attentive consideration. A commutation of tithes— if it could be effected so as lo settle the queslion finally and for ever— vvoald certainly be most desirable. Bui, advening to the extraordinary difficulties which would, in tbe first instance, oppose themselves lo any satisfactory arrangement, the bias* of bis mind was lo Ihe belief that the besl way of ultimately arriving at a satisfactory commutation of tithes would be, in the first place, to adopt such 11 bill as that which had just been presented by liie Most Rev. Prelate for facilitating their composition. By the working of that measure, it would be seen what further proceedings might be advantageously adopted. Both of Ihe bills iu question were of so lunch importance, and their provisions' would be attended with so much difficulty and complication, tbat be certainly very much doubted Ihe expedi- ency or practicability of carrying either of them through parliament during Ihe present sessioM. Perhaps the best course to pursue would be, for the Blosl Itev. Prelate aud the Noble Lord lo slate llie nature aud tendency of the proposed arrangements, and to leave Ihe subject lo be considered iu the interval before the commencement of another session." HOUSE OF COMMONS. REFORM BILL. l. ord JOHN RUSSELL introduced Ihe hill 10 amend Ilie Representation of England and Wales, into the details of which, said his Lordship, '* I do hat think il necessary now lo cnler particularly, be- cause tbey are tbe same as those ofthe bill lhal was before the house during the late parliament; aud as Ihe slight improvements which have been made are solely intended to carry into effect tbe principles of tbe bill, 1 think it will be quite suffi- cient if I leave the consideration of all Ihe details of Ihe measure till tbe period when the house shall have sanctioned it by a first and second reading, und Ibe bill shall be about to be committed " The ' speech of the Noble Lord was mainly occupied with a general history of the progress of repre- sentation in Ibis country; in the course of which" he contended that the frequent changes that bad taken place proved that the Constitution of Ibe House of Commons was not so unvarying aud settled as to render it almost an unhallowed work 10 touch it— that great changes in it had beeu al different times made, to meet altered circumstances or Ibe exigencies of tbe limes— that the Scotch and Irish Unions were changes in thestatc of the repre seuteition, largely destroying Then existing rights and pr actices— that the law declared that seats iu parliament were not to be made matters of traffic thai the law and Ihe practice were inconsistent, as seals were filled by nominations, and obtained by purchase— and tbat tbe law and practice ought to harmonize, lo effect which v. us ihe object of Ministers, Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that he should reserve any opposition to the measure until the second reading, 011 which question he should certainly divide tbe bouse. The discussion was iu conse- quence deferred. There is slated to be considerable alteration in the arrangement of the bill, and verbal, improve- ments have been made throughout. The following, 11 is believed, are the principal alterations intended; and it will be seen that they leave the principle of Ihe measure. untouched : — The right of voting in Comities is extended to Lease- holders tor seven years, and whether determinable on lives or not. In case of property mortgaged, the mortgagor in possession is lo have the vote. This is so now as" to freehold. The period of possession for a freeholder or copy- holder is to. be six months instead of thirty days, as in the former bill; Jnd for leaseholders,' one year instead of two years. The period of possession to be dispensed with in the case of property coming by descent, will,& c. This is the law at present. ... ,., BOROUGH VOTES.— Land occupied in conjunction with a house, warehouse, or pounting- honse ( held under the same landlord), and amounting, altogether, to the annual value or, rent of £ 10, shall confer a vote. No vote to be acquired by a tenant, if his rent is payable more frequently fhan once in every half- year, or if bis landlord compounds for the poor rates; but where, under any local Act, tbe landlord is liable for tbe . rates, tlie leujant may claim to | ay the rate, and thus acquire a vote. ... ..... .. Parliamentary Commissioners to be substituted for omuiitlees of. Privy Counsellors. REGISTRATION.— The lists, to be published on two Sundays instead of three, 011 or. jieiir the church- doors. Lists to be kept by the Overseers, for public inspec- tion, gra. is. . .;. Time for Revision of Lists enlarged; the period now allowed is from LOLH October to 25th November. More than one Barrister may be appointed in large Comities. , In boroughs the town- clerk is lo furnish the overseers with the list of the freemen. An Appendix has been added, containing forms of lists and notices applicable lo counties and boroughs. Power of inspecting fax- assessments and rales, for the purpose of ascertaining the value and occupancy of property. The voter al. the lime of polling may be required to swear that his qualification is still subsisting. Form of oatli as to qualification, identity, and the fact of his not h^.- i'ug previously polled. Scrutiny before tlie Returning Officer expressly taken away. POU. ING IN Cm NTIES.— Counties to be divided by sessions into Districts, and a central Polling Place to be appointed for each District. Booths to be allotted for the several parishes in each District, and no man to vote except at the booth allotted for the Parish in which his qualification is. The provisions as to polling for the Welsh Boroughs have been transposed to the latter part of the Bill. Penalty for personating au elector, and for voting twice at tne same election. . Chambers in the Universities, of Oxford and Cam- bridge not to give a right, of voting for the city of Oxford or to wn of Cambridge. ' No person is to vote in a county election for a house, or land with a house, which confers a right of voting in a borough. Freeholds need not be assessed to the land tax to give a right to voting. In the new schedule " A," ihe number of boroughs ' to cease returning members has been reduced from 60 to 57. The following places, which formerly stood in the schedule so marked, have been transferred to sche- dule " B:"— Aldborough, Buckingham, Malmesbnry, Okehampton, and Reigatc; wjiile Downton aud Saint Germains, which stood in the former bill in schedule " B," and were to be allowed one member each, have been transferred to schedule " A" of the improved bill Schedule " B" also presents some alterations and amendments ; F'ive boroughs," those alteady named, have been saved from totaldisfranchisemeut," and , tw « Which before styod in this schedule, also already named, have gone to schedule " A." . The following places, nine in number, are to be allowed, to return the full complement of members, instead of one each only, as in the former arrangement;— Leominster," Morpctp, Northallerton, Penrhyn, Sandwich ( these two last named have been transferred lo schedule " E," return- ing members jointly with other places, Penrhyn with Falmouth, and Sandwich with Deal, and Walmer), Taimworth, Truro, Westbury, and Wycombe. . , , In schedule " C," which includes the newly- creatqfl boroughs to return two members each, the only alter- ation is that Halifax has been transferred to schedule D," and instead of two, as at first intended, will return only one member. Schedule " D" has some new places introduced, which are to return one member each; they are— 1, Bury township, Lancashire; 2, Oldham parish, Lan- cashire; 3, Rochdale, including the township ot Snot- land, Lancashire; 4, Satford, including the townships of Salford, Pendleton, aud Broughton, Lancashire: 5, Stoke- upon- Trent, including the townships of Longton and Lane- end, Fenton Culvert, Fenton Vivian, Penkhull and Boothen, Sheltou, Hanley, Burslem, with the vill of Rushton Grange, aud the hamlet of Sneyd, The Belgian deputies have taken their departure with the ultimatum of tlie live Powers ; with w hich, wc understand, tlicy express themselves satisfied. Whether their acts will be recongni « ed by the Con- gress that sent thein here is a different question, which those who bave attended to the general behaviour of that body will not be very ready to answer. Prince Leojiold. it is confidently said, will accept, or has ac- cepted, the throne of Belgium, on certain stipulations, and his friends maintain that in concluding this busi- ness he has shown great talents as a oegociator. Whether Ihis be true or not, we do not thinWlie shows great wisdom in going there on any terms; but as'- he is not to go until the ratification of his terms - by' the Congress in Brussels is sent back, there is yet anotlier chance for that precious body to display its ability in shuffling, and we shall continue credulous until we find that the event has actually happened. POL A ND. The corps of Generals Sacken and Palilen have been driven into the Prussian territory— an event not of so much importance iu itself, as ill the op- portunity it will afford to try the sincerity of Ihe Prussian government iu its promises of impartiality. HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. The Navy, Army, and Ordnance Estimates were voted this night. There was au understanding that as little opposition as possible should be given. On the grant being moved for the supply of timber and other materials lor the Navy, Mr. CRKSSKTT PKI - HAM said, that the diminution of oak timber in this country was every day becoming greater and greater, and he thought there ought to be a bounty for en- couraging the growth of what was so important to the defence of the country On tiie motion for £ 189,803. 19*. for Yeomanry and Volunteer Corps for Great Britain and Ireland, Mr. O'CONNEI. L took an opportunity to question the pro- priety of revivi g the Yeomanry C irps in Ireland. He observed lhat Yeomanry did i. ot act with'. the forbear-" ance of the Military, but created excitement, winch rendered it necessary to provide au additional military force to preserve the peace ofthe country.. Mr. STAN- LEV, 011 the other hand, could not agree with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that it would be expedient to provide such a force for Ireland as would meet all exi- gencies; and he was sure that the state of Ireland was such, that the Government had 110 choice but " to rely 011 the loyalty, the tried loyalty, of the Yeomanry of Ireland." Shropshire General Quarter Sessions. shire . In schedule " E," as already mentioned, Penrhyn and Sandwich have been introduced.

LONDON— SATURDAY, , The Paris papers of Wednesday, received last night, contain several notices respecting Poland, all of which concur in representing Ihe insurrection as still spreading more widely and with increased success in Lithuania. The Polish main army was still in its quarters at Praga, and having recruited its ranks, General Skrzynecki was about to undertake the offensive. In France the elections now in progress in that kingdom almost wholly engross public attention. The Brussels papers, arrived to the same date, re- present the Belgians to be preparing for war, and as averse as ever to all compromise. The ( Gazette of Friday announces that the King has been pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon the Right Hon. Robert Wilmot Hortnn, Go- vernor and Commahder- in Chief of the Island of Ceylon. The Gazette also announces the establishment of a Commission " for the purpose of Collecting and com- " municating to persons desirous to Emigrate to any " of the British possessions abroad, in quest of employ. " ment, such information as liiay be useful to the parties so circumstanced and generally to render " to such persons such counsel, advice, and aid as can " be lawfully afforded to them in effecting' such " emigrations." 1 he Commissioners are to Ifbld theft meetings at the Colonial Office, Downing street, arid consist of the following persons: the Duke of Rich- mond, Viscount. Howick, Francis T. Baring, Esq. Henry Ellis, Esq. and Robert W. Hay, Esq. Frederick T. ElIiott, Esq to act as Secretary to the Board.

As many parlies have been much disappointed in consequence of Ihe rules of Friendly Societies not having been confirmed and enrolled- at the Quarter Sessions, it may be useful to tbe public to know, tli'at at lite Leeds Sessions for the West Ridiifg, in October last, it. was decided, lhat tlie Court would not order the rules of such societies to be enrolled, unless the parlies produced before it some actuary, or other competent person, personally lo depose, that he had examined the rules, and was satisfied with them and the calculations, or his ccrlificatc to that effect; that tbe certificate of Ihe barrister, Mr. Tidd Pratt, was not sufficient, as his duly only was to see tbat Ihe rules were according to law.— Lord Wharnchffe, the Chairman" of Slrellield October Sessions, adopted the same rule, which was acted upon at the late Pontefract Sessions. It may be useful to add, that in case cif the certificate of an actuary or accomplant being pro- duced, it will be necessary to satisfy the Court by evidence before it, that he is a fit aud competent person, and conversant With calculations of that nature. It is also of importance lhal Friendly Societies should attend lo the hints given by the Honourable Chairman of our County Sessions on Monday last, namely, that their rules should be made' conform- able to, and be enrolled under, the Act passed hi ihe 10th year of the reign of his lale Majesty, . in- tituled " An Act to consolidate and amend the laws relating to Friendly Societies." This Act repeals all others relating to these Societies, and enacts, that " provided Societies already enrolled shall nol conform lo the provisions of this Act within three years from the passing thereof,, the said Societies shall then cease to be entitled fo the privileges aud provisions of any of the former Acts. Provided, nevertheless, that the provisions of Ihe former Acts shall continue in force as to all Societies established under any of them, before the passing of this Act, for tbe said space of three years, or until they shall sooncv conform to this Act." Tbe Act received Ihe royal assent on the 18th of June, 1829, conse. quently all Societies that do nol conform toil before tbe 18th of June, 1S32, will be without the pule'of the law. This Sessions commenced on Monday last, before the Hon. Thomas Kenyon ( Chairman), tbe Rev. Sir Edward Kymlston, Bart, Thomas Pemberton, Esq. Rev. Townsbend Forester, D. D. Panlon Corbett, Esq. William Oakeley, Esq. Henry George Mytton, Esq. Thomas Beale, Esq. Thomas Bayley, Esq. H. D. VVarler, Esq. VV. Egerton Jeffreys,. Esq. Philip Morris, Esq. John Brown, Esq. Sir R. C. Hill, Knt. John Edwards, Esq. William Charlton, Esq. Rev. William Hopkins, Rev. C. R. Cameron, Edward Cluddc, Esq. and the Rev. G. A. Maddock. The Hon. Chairman, in addicssing the Grand Jury, stated that, in consequence of some of the Magistrates' Clerks having neglected to forward the depositions taken by them, he was not able to advert so fully as he could have wished to the cases that the Grand Jury would have to consider; and he should, there- fore, consult with his brother Magistrates as to the propriety of making an order that all depositions should in future be sent to tbe office of the Clerk of the Peace by the Saturday week previous to each Sessions, or in default, the cases of the negligent parties should be taken last. Mr. WHATEI. EY called the attention of the Court to the Rules of the Whitchurch Friendly Society, on behalf of which he appeared. The society was a most respectable one, having a capital of £ 5000, securely invested. Among its rules was one lhat had been very advantageous to its members, and which provided a species of insurance to them, on their making an additional payment, in ease of their being ballottcd for the militia. This rule, though incor- porated with the other rules of the society, was to be considered rather as enabling its members to avail themselves of its responsible and respectable officers, as the agents of insuring them in the contingency of a ballot, than as essential lo the government of the club, but had been found to answer its intention so well, that the members were anxious to retain it. By a lale Act of I arliamenl, however, the Rules of Friendly Societies were required to be submitted to the inspection of Mr. TiddPratt, the barrister, prev'o is to Iheir enrolment under that. Act: Ihe rules of the Whitchurch Society were accordingly submitted to tbat gentleman ; and he had struck out this clause relating to the militia ballot. The Art had, however, provided, that in case any clause so struck out, should, on the subject afterwards being brought before the Magistrates in Sessions, be approved by them, the Bench might direct it to be re- inserted; and that was the object of Ihe ;* esent application. The Chairman suggested that it would be better that the circumstances of the case should be explained to Mr. Pratt for his re- consiileration, when he would probably himself re- insert the clause: and Mr. Whateley, on behalf of tbe club, adopted this sug- gestion, Ihe Chairman and Magistrates undertaking to cause the circumstances of the case to be properly explained to Mr. Pratt. The Chairman then took Ihe opportunity of stating that those Clubs or Friendly Societies who negleclcd to have Iheir Rules revised and sanctioned, in con- formity to the Act, previous to this time twelvemonths, would, after that period, be considered as unprotected by the enactments that the Legislature had passed for Iheir benefit. In the appeal brought by Mr. John Holland, a rated inhabitant ofthe parish of Whitchurch, sgainst the Guardians of the Poor of that parish, on the round that they had borrowed a larger sum of money than the Act empowered them, and which came On this day for hearing, under a mandamus from the Court of King's Bench, Ihe parties, after some dis- cussion, came to amicable arrangement, on tbe fol- lowing terms.— The appeal to be dismissed: the Guardians Undertaking not to incur any further debt; the appellant undertaking to proceed no further with respect to the debt now existing: the Guardians to pay the costs of the present proceeding, and to un- dertake to conform strictly to the letter of the Act of Parliament in future.— The costs to be paid in the case lo be settled by Mr. John Loxdale. The on'y Parish Appeal investigated was lhat of Little Ness* against Ruyton- of- the- Eleven- Towns, in which the order was quashed. Richard Reynolds, for stealing, at Bridgnorth, on the 11th of May, a coat, the property of Benjamin Morris, a chaise- driver, was sentenced to be im- prisoned one month to hard labour. Aaron Fellows, w ho hail been out on bail, was put to the bar on an indictment charging him wilh stealing a garden hand- glass, the property of Mrs. Jane Mase- field, of Shiffnal, about the close of Ihe year 1829 — The case occupied the attention of Ihe Court a con- siderable time; and the evidence was of a conflicting nature. A hand glass was produced, which the prosecutrix and her servant stated to he lhat which she had lost, but which neither of them had seen for about twelve months, until April last.— On behalf of Ihe prisoner, one witness deposed to the fact, that he had sold the frame of the glass now produced five years ago to the prisoner, and a glazier deposed that had put glass into this frame for tbe prisoner in the year 1826. It was further proved that the prisoner, if he had stolen Ihe glass, must have done so without any motive, as he had lent it gratuitously about twelve months ago to a gentleman who employed him, in whose garden it was found in April last, and who now gave him an excellent character, as did several other most respectable witnesses.— The general impression in the Court was, that as the parties on both sides Of Ibe case were very respectable, the prosecutrix and her servant must have been mistaken in the identity of the hand- glass: the Jury evidently were of the same opinion, as they acquitted the prisoner, to tbe satisfaction of all who were present during the investigation of the case. Richard Nunnerley pleaded guilty fo an indict- ment charging him with stealing bay at Wellington, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 weeks to hard labour. Richard Bufton was found guilty, on the clearest evidence, of stealing a larch pole, the property of Mr. Francis Marston, of Hopesay, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 month to hard labour. Ou en Finney, tried on an indictment charging him with stealing a quantity of iron chain, the property of the Lilleshall Company, was acquitted.— Mary Roudey and the said Owen Finney were then put to Ihe bar; Mary Rowley being charged with stealing, and Owen Finney with receiving, knowing it to he stolen, a quantity of iron chain, the property of the Lilleshall Company; and Ihey were both acquitted Elizabeth BasSage, for stealing 14 yards of printed cotton, the property of Mr. Thomas Blakemore, of Newport, was sentenced lo be imprisoned one month. John Davies, convicted of stealing a pair of foot- ing chains, tbe property of Mr. Walters, of Cole- batch, received an excellent character as lo bis previous conduct, and was sentenced ( o be im- prisoned 14 davs to hard labour. Joseph My ait and Thomas MyM were found guilty of stealing a quantity of earthenware, the property of James Wright, at Wrockwardine, and were sentenced lo be imprisoned 3 months lo hard labour. John Carless was found guilty of breaking open a st,. ble, and stealing a spade and other articles, al Wonibridge, and having been twice convicted before, he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Wilt am Heaton, for stealing a coat and other articles, the property of Edward kke, al Newport, was sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for I month. Joseph Jackson, for stealing, at Woodeote, a silk handkerchief, tiie property of Matthew Whitting- ham, was seuteuced lo be imprisoned 1 month to hard labour. James Evans, for stealing a quantity of wool, the property of his master, Mr. Edward Dicken, of Longden,' was sentenced to be imprisoned 4 months to bard labour. Thomas Mainwaring, for stealing various articles of wearing apparel, at Ihc parish of Ben iugton, and against whom ihere was another indictment, was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour. Margaret Davics, aged 80, was convicted of stealing coal from the lime- works at Loton.— The prosecution was instituted merely for tbe protection of property necessarily exposed to depredation; aud tbe prisoner was recommended to the merciful consideration of the Court.— She was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 week. Ann Boden, for stealing three turkeys, the pro- perty of Miss Elizabeth Bryan, at Clun, was sentenced lo three months' imprisonment. William Weaver, a mere boy, for breaking into Ibe dwelling house of Edward Thomas, at Beltws, and stealing thereout various articles, wassenleuced to be imprisoned 3 mouths to hard labour. Mary Ridgely, for stealing, at Slottesdon, a lace collar, the property of Elizabeth MiHichojie, was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 weeks. John Jones, charged with stealing a gravel riddle, the property of the Commissioners of Ihe First District of Bishop's Castle Roads, received an excellent character, aud was acquitted. Gccrge Martyn was convicted of stealing a spade, al Kinlet, Ihe property of Edward Lawrence, and being an old offender, he was sentenced to be transported for 7 years. , ; • . ; Henry Simon Lazarus, a jew, resident at Whit- church, was found guilty of a riot iu that town on Ihe 9th of May last.— The defendant was one of a body of persons, not freeholders; who espoused the cause of Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Mylton in that town O. i the 9th of May, the riot in question took place; on the morning . of that day., Mr. John Rtisc. oe, a freeholder who supported Sir Rowland Hill, was violently assaulted by some of the mob in w hich Lazarus was a leader, as Ml". R, « was about to leave Whitchurch for Shi ewsbury.— Several persons con- cerned in these outrages had acknowledged their offence, and had been forgiven.— The same lenity was offered to Lazarus previous to his trial, but be declined availing himself of it : and as soon- as his conviction hail taken . place,, the prosecutor again stated his willingness to be satisfied, with the defend nit's acknowledgment of his error, if the Court should ba pleased lo accede to this arrange- ment. This was done; and the matter was thus ani'cably terni'n iled. John Cornuell, of Newport, bulcher, indicted for assaulting a constable in the execution of his duty, was acquitted. James Wright, asailor, was found guilty of assault ing John Mason, constable of Ellesmere, when in Ihe execution of his duty, and was sen enced to be im- prisoned one week, having already been in custody 3 months. Some other minor rases of misdemeanor being disposed of by the discharge of the parties, the business of this Sessions terminated. Sheriff's of Shropshire.

On Friday last, the 24th instant, took place fhe Anniversary of the Baschurch Female Friendly Society. The early part of the evening was line, but towards seven o'clock, when enjoyment was at its height, some little rain fell, which occasioned the party to break up earlier and in worse spirits than usual.— Mr. Smith has certainly made a great im- provement in altering the situation of the Green, both as regards beauty and convenience, but we would recommend him to get the grass more closely clipped another year, it was much complained of by the dancers. We could not help observing, with something like regret, the material falling off this year in the attendance on this really pretty and rural fete, which, some degree, must influence its funds. The novelty, in a great measure, has ceased, consequently its attraction ; and its utility, beyond a doubt, is quite superseded by the establishment of 14 Savings Banks." The want of public accommodation is a great objection to strangers attending this meeting, there being but one inn in the village, and that, of course, upon such an occasion, much crowded and uncom- fortable. Would not some temporary erections of a more public nature than the members' tents, for the purpose of taking refreshment, do away with this! We think it Would ; and also with th'e inconvenience and expense that private families are put to, in order to accommodate the throng of visitors that sometimes attend on this day We have reason to know that this tax on Ihe residents of the village has become irksome to them, and unpleasant to many who are obliged, for want of public accommodation, to intrude upon them : we saw, indeed, one house, near to the Green, so painfully crowded lhat a person could not have crammed into it through doors or windows.— We merely allude to this in order to show that our suggestion above would be attended with very great convenience to all parties. This, we believe, was the first club of the sort organized in this part of Ihe country, and we have long admired the amiable hearts and kind intentions of those ladies who commenced and have long patronized the Meeting. The friendly mixture of all ranks on tbis day lends to warm the hearts of the humbler individuals towards their superiors, ami soften down the apparently invidious distance which the present artificial state of society has placed between them — Our best wishes attend their future happy meetings.

SIR,— lam as much averse to the Reform Bill as any man can be, and was much pleased to hear at the Coonty Meeting held in this town, on the 17th inst. Captain Lewis Edwards express his utter dislike to any change in the present system. But, strongly as 1 accord with him — much as 1 feel that our glorious Constitution must suffer by any change— yet I held up my baud for Mr. Corbet's resolutions, because I considered tbat, if the Bill is lo pass, we might as well reap what benefit we can from it, and tbat an additional Member for Merioneth would give another voice iu Parliament for Welsh Interests; and, therefore, even a Tory may consider il a national advantage — that is, if the Bill must pass. Your correspondent lias misquoted the few words uttered by Mr. Edwards, of Dolscrey; they were simply these: " The olive branch of harmony has flourished " amongst us for many years ; and I much fear, " if this measure passes, it will produce the " apple of discord." And this trope was, 1 believe, all that he uttered. 1 find, upon enquiry, that this petition has been most numerously signed throughout the county; notwithstanding that, which, I repeat, I consider quite distinct from the Reform Bill, 1 trust our ex cellent Member, as well as the County Member for Carnarvon, will hasten to London, to give their votes against the Bill: — Members who are not gifted with eloquence may do as much good by their mere votes.

The market is in the same dull and inanimate state that it has exhibited for the last three weeks, and we can give no alteration in the prices of either Wheat, Oats, or Barley ; the same prices are asked for each of these articles of grain, but to effect sales the factors would be compelled to admit of a reduction from the prices we quote, which must be considered as nominal in the absence of any real business. The supply of English Wheat is very deficient, but that of foreign is abundant. We can quote an advance in the price of White Peas of full 3s. per quarter, the top price bemg 45s.

TOMES, 50, Lineoln's- Inn- Fields. For GEORGE HARPER, Whitchurch. A treatise on Agriculture and. Grazing has just lieen published, from the pen of " an experienced Farmer. 1' The object of the writer.( who speaks of his attempt ib ( lie most unostentatious terms) is to impart an accouuf tif the best methods, which he has himself long adopted, of conducting extensive and small farms for the growing of wheat and the fattening of beasts arid' sheep— methods which cannp£ fail lo augme'tffljbth produce and profit, and by which all clasps, iljs well as the Agricultural, must be ne- cessarily aiid especially benefitted. In the first chapter the author sets out by stating that for many years he saw a necessity " to press and dress uithsheep, a fallow for wheat, to make the land more close and firm, and add strength, to the wheat plant to enable it to stand frost and thaws during winter, to preserve a fine healthy plant, to produce a good crop, and, at the same time, to cause a fallow to pay its ow^ expenses of rent, taxes, arid tillage, which have been such a drawback out of tlie fanner's profits," To accomplish these great desiderata, the author first tried rape, which, he tells us, fully paid rent, faxes, and tillage, by fattening sheep and lambs for market, but he could not get the wheat to grow well after it, if sown the following autumn, lie then considered there wanted a plant of quickness in growth, adapted to the fattening of sheep, and knon ing wheat to grow kindly after trefoil thut was tli'ekly sown, he found the increase of vegetable manure, by the rotting of the roots of this plant and the sheep dressii g, to be fhe very thing wanted. An experiment was tried to ascertain the compara- tive merits of vetches and trefoil; a fair trial, he says, was made, by sowing trefoil seed in the middle of a field where the other part was vetches; " both were fed off at the same time with sheep; and the field sown with wheat; but the wheat was much better after the trefoil ( Iran after the vetches, and yielded full one- fourth more. On pulling up tbe whrat, the . roots were found much stronger as far as the trefoil wefltj and the straw at harvest was a fine healthy yellow Wore so than the wheat after the vetches. Joseph Smith, Esq. of Westbourn, had eleven sacks and two bushels peracre after trefoil sown as directed by the author ; and, in the same field, only seven sacks per acre were grown close alongside." Our author goes on to remark, that " it happens in most farms to be difficult to get sufficient manure, and turnips will not grow well without it; but trefoil seed will grow on any soil without manure, and it will cause any sort of grain to grow more kindly by the rotting. of its vegetable roots and the dressing left by the sheep." Tile following extract from the second chapter wi| l furnish a more enlarged view of the author's new- invented system, which he entitles— . " AS IMPROVED METHOD OF GROWING WHEAT AND FATTENING SHEEP. " Prepare an early good fallow ( as if to sow turnips), and in the month of April or May let half a coat of manw£' lie applied ; then sow from 201bs. to 251bs. of trefoil- seed; per statute acre; this will give two' or three months'excellent sheep feed before the time of sowing wheat,- which is to lie done on one ploughing, and whilst the ground is fresh ; the land should under- go ttief'iaumbef of times of harrowing as in a common lay, to mak « it very close. From the matting or great produce of the trefoil and the treading of the sheep, it will be. fouud that the land will come np very close, which is the thing desired; so that the alternate frosts and thaws during winter may not affect the plant so as to loosen it and draw it out of the ground; for when that is the case, a thin sample and a lessened produce will be the two certain consequences. The dressing left by the rotting of the trefoil roots will ain^ ly make up the other half- dressing, by which saving of manure the farmer will be enabled to apply it more liberally to his turnip crop. The use of trefoil is well known as a superior feed for sheep, and being thus procured at a time when feed is generally scarce, it will be found extremely advantageous, since it will finish off the late lambs and ewes for market; whereas a bare fallow yields- no such advantages. This method also prevents wheat becomm" thin, on the land, and it will be found less subject to blight; and from the compactness of the soil, the red weed and other annual seeds will be pre- vented from, growing; neither Will it be so liable to the depredations of the slugs or wire- worms. ' To roll the land early in the spring will also be of service in keeping the soil close to the. roots; this being a very material. consideration, ought to be attended to., as tile prosperity of the crop depends chiefly on this circttdista'tice. The author has seen wheat improve after being harrowed atid rolled similar to turnips after hoeing. " " All wet lands should be well water- furrowed when the trefoil seed is sown, as by those means a season for wheat is secured on any wet soil. Should it prove in- convenient or impracticable to lay out the half dressing previous to sowing the trefoil seed, fair crops of wheat may be grown on most soils with the dressing left by the sheep and the rotting of the trefoil roofs. It may not be convenient to work all the land of a large stock farm on this new system, a greater supply of winter feed being required by some farmers than by others: in that case the author recommends the following four- lain system— viz. one- fourth of the land to be sown with turnips; one fourth with barley or oats, one- fourth with seeds for feed or hay; and one- fourth with wheat; aud so on in succession, except the poor land of the farm, which should help to assist the best; but when the besf.- Irfrtd has to assist tho noor land the whole lie author, was about twenty years of age, lie was sent to be bailiff over 700 acres' of land at. Bedhampt. on, in Hampshire, where the flock was very subject to the goggles; sixty of them died a fe. w weeks before, and the others were continually faltering, being poor stock sheep. He sowed twenty- six acres of rape, afler pre- paring a good fallow and dunging it well; the rape grew so fast that in one month after he had finished the field he began to turn in the unsound sheep; they throve wonderfully fast, so that ill a short time the twenty- six acres of rape finished for market about - 400, and Caused the whole of the unsound flock to be sold on very profitable terms: indeed for more than sufficient to purchase a sound flock. But although there was so much dressing left in the land by feeding such a large quantity of sheep, the wheat sown t'le following autumn was very short all over the field ( which con- tained three d. fferent sorts of soil) at harvest. This proves that land is not kind for wheat immediately after rape has been fed off. Had it been saved tor seed the following spring, the seed would have been worth double the wheat Crop, and would have saved t^ e wheat seed and expense of tillage over and above the preparation for a good crop of wheat. Saving rape for seed gives considerable employment for the poor just before harvest; when it is so much wanted." DISCOVERY OF COINS AT TUTBURY. ISAAC TAYLOR BF.

V The poor land should be sown with sainfoin' or lucerne ilsuitable, or . left in pasture, to enable it to bear dorn after , a few . years rest, which will assist to keep a flo£ k of sheep to'help the best land, besides the saving. of & considerable expense in seed, tillage, and manure, and will therefore prevent what is generally termed, f the farmer's sowing himself out of doors. 1 " The f > ur- lain . system makes the labour and tillage of the land regular and of less expense ; and is equally suitable for breeding stock sheep, as also for fattening sheep j besides which, the method of making pasture of the poor land to assist the best land, by keeping a larger quantity of stock sheep to go to fold, is so great an improvement for wheat, that it generally ensures to the farriier a good crop, If the farmer goes on without system to. fallow for. wheat at the time he, is preparing for tiip) ips, he is obliged to keep a number of horses which is likely to ruin him if he is a tenant. " The four- lain system is eminently calculated for improving and keeping up the strength of the land, which, is of the utmost importance; for should land hecorrie poor or foul from want of proper manage- ment,: the oc(? upierV capital must in consequence de- creaseC " Sheep may be kept with considerable advantage upon all lands by adopting the two- lain system or new plan, but not, so profitably upon the four- lain system, particularly on wet lands, because the former would be a summer feeding to support immense quantities of sheep; .. sQ t. h^ t, the two- lain system is recommended on as mucfi ® f afarm as the occupier can. make Convenient; and tW four- lain system on the other part, to make land niote profitable. " To increase- man nre is a sure method to make land advantageous. The author begs leave to suggest the proper ^ nethod of effecting that object. . Let the cul- tivator/ manure the land for sheep feed, as for turnips, or trefoil, or other young seeds, that by so increasing his sheep feed he may be enabled also to increase his stock and. flock of sheep, which would give a consider- able increase of suitable manure~ for a grea'er quantity of corn, independent of the advantages to be derived from an extra number of sheep, which it is probable might inake a difference of the whole rent of the land compared with the ancient system of dunging for wheat instead of turnips, and not well providing for sheep. Besides, the course will be attended with other advantages— viz. it will be found that the wheat crop will be less subject to slugs and blight; for, it will be observable, in nine cases out of ten, that the spot where the dung mixen was laid the preceding year, is almost, sure be bl, i'ghted ;" wherefore the author conceives that dtmg, if not employed to produce sheep feed before wheat, will cause blight. For if a close were iiTfamived ali- Over ih the same proportion as the spot on whieh the- fhixen was laid, thc ^ vhole close would most certainty . be bl ighted in the same manner. Independent of these-^ dyantages, the author is confident., from his owii? experience, that wheat does not yield so well where the manure has not been applied for sheep feed pfevibus- lo^ Uie land being sown with wheat; under these circinnstance<?,- the author conceives it more pro- fitaiile toung for turnips hi general, and that the method here recommended is eminently calculated to keep up, the . land in a high state of cultivation aud improvement, exclusive of the profits from the sheep and corn. . The author also recommends the folding of sheep on, - land intended for wheat, where it is . con- venient for the present soils to be made into sheep walks, as that method is mpsjt certain, to ensure a good crop." With the following useful information on the preservation of sheep, we must close oor notice of this Treat se. On the diseases of Sheep the author says— < f If a farmer happens to have any sheep that are w; eak, unsound, or broken- mouthed, or even slightly touched with the rot, rape is the best thing to make them saleable to the butcher in a short time. When In our 4th page we have inserted an interesting account of this extensive treasure trove.— The fo! lowing additional particulars will be read wilh satisfaction : The Cotton Manufactory at Tutburv » has recently- undergone considerable alterations and additions ; amongst others a new tail race or watercourse has been made ; this has had the effect of diminishing'the usual height of the water in the main branch of the river. It has therefore been deemed advisable to lower the bed of the river for a short distance imme- diately below the bridge. In doing this the labourers found amongst the heaps of stones and gravel a. num- ber of small pieces of coin, which at first, from their black and corroded state, they did not consider- of the least value, nor did they excite any marked attention. The men therefore continued their work- perfectly heedless of the little treasures of which they turned over such numbers. At length the truth became known, that the coins were silver, and of the reign of Edward I. and others of about that period ; and this at once caused a change in their labours, and that too a most productive one. Their attention was now exclusively turned to the discovery of the coin, and some of the hardest workers realized by their day's exertions as much as £ 10; disposing too of their produce at a very low rate. From ' 2s 6.1. to 18s. have b< en given for one hundred pieces. The silversmiths have purchased large quantities at about 4s. per ounce. It is estimated that on Wednesday se'nnight from 30,000 to 40,000 pieces of coin were found. As many as 2000 were the fruits of the labours of single parties, and upwards of 200 have been brought up at one shovel full. Tiie extreme points where the coin was found, would perhaps measure 40 or 50 yards, and this in a direct line. As the present is but a modern course of the river Dove, it is probable that an army chest was originally con- cealed at this spot; the course of the river having been turned over it, the water may gradually have worked down to the treasure, and which the rapidity of the current would carry down the stream to the extent above- mentioned. There appeared to be one decided spot where the coin was found in greater quantity than at any other, and it was remarked that the largest shovel fulls were brought up from below the stones and gravel out of a marly substance. On reference to an old History of England, mention is made that, Edward I. established mints at the follow- ing places, viz. London, Canterbury, Durham, New- castle, Berwick, Lincoln, Exeter or Exonia, and Bristol, Villa Sancti Edmundi, Dublin, Waterford, and Cork ; specimens of all of which have been found, besides Scotch coins of John Ballol, and of Alexander, and some few of the English monarch John. We should also not forget to state that a curiously wrought brass spur was found with the coins, bearing all the features of like equal antiquity; also a ring rudely chased, which has the following inscription engraven within the circle: " Spretci vivant.' 1'' A very fine piece of silver coin of Edward the First, about the siate ofa modern half- crown, has also. been found. The Search proved so profitable that parties con- tinued arriving from great distances, some to work and others to speculate in purchasing. As the quan- tity of coin found began greatly to decrease, the la- bourers set a higher price upon their produce, and the most common specimens are now sold at about four- pence each ; those which have any pretension to scarcity, such as the Scotch and Irish picces, sell at about 2s. each ; rarer specimens fetch as much as 10s each ; and the Henrys1 ( perhaps the most scarce of all) are rated as high as 20s. each The more nar- rowly the coins are investigated the more numerous the different kinds appear, and from our own know- ledge, we cannot estimate the different specimens which have bfcen found, at less than 50 in number, most of which are decidedly foreign pieces. The different parties continued at their new labour, with- out any interruption up fo Thursday se'nnight, when their further searches were put a stop to by an order from the Crown. Mr. Webb had been absent from Tlitbury for some time previous to the discovery first taking place. He returned on Thursday se'nnight, and on his way over the bridge to his manufactory, he addressed, the parties in the rivet', informing them that he believed it was a question to whom the trea- sure belonged ; some thought to the Grown, and others to himself; but if no other person exercised any interference he should not, and so long as they Could earn wages by their noVel employment they might continue at it. He hoped they would make a proper use of their earnings, and not squander their money in drunkenness, or their present good fortune would, in the end, prove any thing but a benefit to them. With this kind assurance the poor fellows renewed their labours. Their further progress how- ever was soon put a stop to, for upon Mr. Webb's arriving at his Counting house, he found among a number of letters which awaited him, one containing an order from the Crown, directing him to stop all further search for coin in the river Dove, within the honour of Tutbury. Mr. Webb immediately commu- nicated this order to the people at work, who not crediting its authenticity, shewed strong symptoms of opposition ; they even went so far as to threaten destruction to Mr. Webb's private property. It was therefore deemed necessary to swear in a number of special constables, and orders were forwarded to the Commanding* < fficer of the Burton Troop of Yeo- manry, requesting him to hold that troop in readiness in case their services might be required. Happily^ there was no occasion to call in aid their valuable assistance. The search will be continued on behalf of the Crown. Labourers are now at work under the direction of Mr. Hafpur ( fhe King's axe- bearer), and Mr. Webb, mak ng a kind of blockade round the place where coins are found in the greatest number; pumps will be used to free the spot from water; and towards Tuesday it is expected thc further search for coin will re- commence", whether advantageous or not must be left to the result. At all events the sear< li must prove extremely interesting, and no doubt will attract vast numbers of spectators. The oldest pub- licans at Tutbury say, fhe week just passed has been the most profitable one to them of any ever previously experienced, even in the days of the celebrated Ann Moore.— Staffordshire Advertiser. i . r IRELAND* • •-• ' AFFRAY AT NEVS'LOWJNBARRY, [ From the Kilkenny Moderator.'] Several contradictory rumours are afloat respecting, the fatal affray which occurred at NewtOwnbarry on Saturday last. I he following particulars have been kindly communicated to us hy a person of veracity residing on the spot, and we therefore have every reason to think the statement substantially correct.:—? t Three ' heifers* w'licit had been seized for tithe due., to the KeV- Sir.. MX'tiptoe]*,. were advertised to be sold by auction on Saturday. At an early hour on that morning numerous, placards were post d up in Newto. wnhar. ry and the neighbourhood,-• calling on thp people to resist the sale- to pay n » tithes or church rates— to pull down the, church establishment, The magistrates ordered the yeomanry from Lnnis- coi thy and Myshafl to attend, with those of Newtown- harry, to assist the police, in case it became necessary to do so. The entire force amounted to . about £ 50 men When the cattle were brought into the town by the police. to be sold, the people congregated in. immense numbers and eventually succeeded in rescuing them. Caj3t Graham ( a magistrate, and the agent of. Lord Farnham) then headed the police* made his way through the dense crowd and brought baclij the cattle amidst the yells and curses of an. increasing1' and desperate mob. Captiin Graham now thought it prudent to call out the yeomanry, and he pro- ceeded to the. pound on the Ryland road, in which he lodged the cattle. At this period the ditches at either. side of the road were lined with people, many of them armed with guns, pistols, & C. and Captajn Graham used every endeavour to reason with and pacify them, and warned them of the senotis conse- quences which might ensue from a disobedience of the laws We regret to add, that this advice was wholly unattended toy for he had no sooner ordered his men to m. trch back into the town, than they were, instantly assailed by an immense volley of stones, and three shots were fired by fhe mob at the police and yeomanry* by which one of the latter was killed, and several others severely injured. Captain Graham now thinking it full time to act in defence of himself and his party, ordered his men to fire, when 18 of the country people-— some accounts say 23— « were killed and a great number wounded. The peasantry then fled in all directions Captain John Browne, a gentleman residing near Newtownbarry, was shot through the calf of the leg, w hilst endeavour- ing to disperse the mob. One of the coun'ry people was killed bv a blow of a stone aimed at the police! by some of his- own party. The women, as usual, were extremely active on this unfortunate occasion in supplying the peasantry with stones and other destructive missiles. . Several detachments of military from Dublin, Wexford, Carlow, and Kilkenny, had arrived at NewtoWnbarry on Monday. An inquiry, by order of government, was to have commenced yesterday. Aft r the foregoing had been in type, a communi- cation reached our oflice that Sir John Harvey, the Inspector- General of Poficej who has been for the last three days at Newtownbarry* engaged in investi- gating the transactions which led to this, affray, hnn expressed his entire approval of the conduct of the yeomanry and police. The account further states that there are 25 of the former wounded. In f^ ct the conflict was little short of a regular battle. The above melancholy affa> r was brought before the House of Commons On Friday night; when Mr- Maxwell said he would mention a few facts to put the house iii possession of the real state of the case. The Tithe Composition Act had been introduced in the parish of Newtownbarry. There could therefore be ho grievance on the score of tithes. The clergy- man, however, a most humane and worthy character, was unable to get his tithes under the composition. A person named Doyle, residing in the parish, re- fused to pay them, and the clergyman proceeded to a distress. The sale was fixed for Saturday last, and the magistrate received notice that it was probable the people would attempt a rescue The yeomanry and police were accordingly ordered to attend, but i- c- ceived strict orders not to fire. The cattle of Doyle, which were in pound, were rescued by the people, who collected to the number of one of two . fl » oiisa » » . d. The yeomen were first fired upon by the mob. One of them was killed t\ nd several Wounded. Under these circumstances they felt themselves compelled to fire in their own defence, and some ( many he believed) of the people were killed. He was acquainted for many years with the magistrate of Newtownbarry, Captain Graham, and there was not living a more humane or a better man. He frequently heard much obloqfuy cast upon the yeomanry of Ireland in that house, and especially by the public press, and it was to prevent any wrong impression from going abroad that he rose to state these few facts, of the correctness of which lie had no doubt.

Placards for shop windows, REFORM* ( From a Correspondent.) The term Reform is much used, in a monastic sense, for reducing an order or congregation to ancient severity, from which it had swerved. In this country, it reapplied both to Polities and Reli- gion ; but it appears at present to be made use of for injudicious purposes.— The word Reform has been fixed upon as the wateh- word, and, with the help of exaggeration and distortion, is offered to the people as the very thing needful. The error of our present Rulers seems to be, that, having' picked up a set of notions which flatter their own pride, and the pride of those who listen to them, they think so much upon their Ideal Reform, that they will not allow any one else to think ; so that, while they . imagine their notions are liberal and extensive* they are contracted beyond Imagination. They see, or think fhey see, the propriety of their scheme. They will not take the world as it is, and allow it to profit by the wisdom and experi- ence of ages; but they will reform it according to those ideas of right which they have learned from- their own speculations and airy theories. Amidst the excessive ardour with which they propagate their notions^ they forgot the extreme danger of withdrawing the attention of that part ofthe com- munity who have to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow front their proper occupations, to the tempestuous sea of political debate; although it requires very little penetration to see, that it can be of no real service either to individuals or to the community at large. Indeed, to make those the judges of the law, and the reformers of abuses in the legislation, who have all their lives been em- ployed in manual labour, is the extreme of folly ; and yet it is what some men talk of; though instead of serving the purposes of a real reform, such a course will annihilate all civil order. We would seriously request the sober friends of reform to reflect, that we have more to fear from reform carried to an extreme, than from attempting to annihilate our real liberty. That government will be best supported and most productive of happiness in which the interests of the individuals who conin pose it are so equally poised as to support one another. If, after all, however, the position shav\ hJ be doubted, I have only to request that they, ( the Re^ formers,) with the sincerity of men and christians, will consult their own breasts, aud seriously Qoh, sider the probable motives of those who act with them. They will then see, that they surely ought to acknowledge, that few men have acted mqre iti accordance to the impulse of passion, interest, and ambition, than those who are sounding the tocsiti of Reform. Iiis Majesty and the Duke of Brunswick dined on Saturday, tne lMh inst. with the Dukeuf Wellington; in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. About 70 military officers were invited, the most of whom were present at that memorable contest. In the morning the King sent, by the Earl of Minister, a splendid sword to his Grace, ornamented with his Majesty's arms, the arms, orders, and batons of the Duke, and the British colours, surrounded with laurel, and over them the words India, Copeu* hagen, Peninsula, aud Waterloo, terminated with laurel and palm MARKET TOI L?.— In the search for ancient docn* ments connected with Wolverhampton, a Royal Charter has been found, which exempts the tenants or owners of copyhold land of the ancient demesne manor of Kinver from toll and stallage throughout England, and from the expense uf the Knights for the Shire.

This being: the day fixed for the opening of Ihe Session of Parliament by the King in person, his Majesty proceeded to the House of Lords with the usual state. His Majesty having arrived at the House of Lords, proceeded to the robing- room, and from thence to fhe throne, attended by all the great officers of state, the peers ( in their robes) and peeresses, of whom a great number were present, receiving his Majesty standing* His Majesty then commanded the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the House of Commons to the Bar of the Lords ; and, iu a few minutes, the Speaker attended, accompanied by a very great uunibei' of Members, His Majesty then delivered the following; Speech iri a very clear and distinct manner ^ My Lords, and Gentlemen, " 1 haVe availed myself of the earliest Opportunity of tesoMitig to your advite and assistance after the dissolution of the late Parliament. " Having had recourse to ( flat measure for the ) Uirpose of ascertaining the sense of rtiy people on the exp< diency of a Refoffn nV ttte Representation, 1 have now to recommend that important question to your earliest and most attentive consideration— con tident that in any measures which you may propose for its adjustment, you will carefully adhere to the acknowledged principled of 1 fie Constitution, by which the prerogatives of the Crown, the authority df both Houses of Parliament, and the rights and liberties of the people, are equally secured. The assurances of a friendly disposition which 1 Continue to receive from all Foreign Powers, encou- rage the hope that, notwithstanding the civil commo- tions which have disturbed some fiarts of Europe, and the contest now existing in Poland, the general jteace will be maintained. To the preservation of this blessing my ihost anxious care will be constantly directed. € i The discussions which have taken place on the affairs of Belgium have not yet been brought ? 6 a Conclusion ; but the most complete agreement con tinues to subsist between the Powers whose Pleni- potentiaries have been engaged in tlie conferences of London. The principle oh which these Conferences have been crinddCted, lias been that of riot inter- fering with the right of the people of Belgium to regulate their internal affairs, and to establish their Government according to their own views of what may be most conducive to their future welfare and independence; urider the sole Condition sanctioned liy the practice of nations, and founded on the jirin eiples of public law, that in the exercise of that undoubted right ihe security of neighbouring states should not be endangered. " A series of injuries arid in^ ilts' for Which, not- withstanding repeated reriiorist ranees, all reparation was withheld, compelled rtie at last to order a squad- ron of riiy fleet to appear befdfe Lisbon, with a per- emptory detfiaiid of satisfaction. A prompt com- pliance with that demand prevented the necessity of further measures ; but I have to regret that 1 have not yet been enabled to re establish my diplomatic relations with tlie Portuguese (^ overriirierit. 4< Gentlemen of the House of Commons, « 1 have ordered estihiates of the expenses of the current year to be laid before you, and I rely with Confidence on your loyalty and zeal to rriake ade- quate provision for the priblic service, as well as for the furtlier application df the sums granted by the last Parliament, always keeping in view the necessity of a wise and wholesome economy in every branch of the public expenditure. <: My Lords, and Gentlemeny 41 It. gives me great satisfaction to state to yon that the large reduction of taxes which took place in the llist arid present year, with a view to the relief of the labouring Classes of the community, has not been attended with a proportionate diminution of the public income. " 1 trust that such additional means as may lie required to supply a part of the deficiency, occa- sioned by these reductions, may be fori rid without any material abridgment of the iforrifoftsT of riiy people. " TO assist the industry, to improve the resourCes, arid to rhaintain the credit of the country ori sound princip'es, and on a safe and lasting foundation, vvill be at all times the objects of rriy solicitude, in tlte promotion of which I look with confidence ttf ybtir zealous co- operation. " It is with deep concern that I have to announce to you the Corifiritied progress of a formidable dis- ease, to vV'hic'lr my attention had bCen early directed, in the eastern parts of Europe. " Information having been more recently S'tCeived that it had extended its ravages to ports ot the Baltic, from whence there if? a g reiit. commercial intercourse with toy doriiinions, 1 have directed that all the pre- cautions sUorild be taken which experience has re- commended as rhOst effectual, for guarding against, the introduction of sO dangerous a malady into this country. " Great distress has unhappily prevailed in some districts, and more particularly in a part of the \ Vestern Counties Of Ireland, to relieve whiCh, in the most pressing cases, I have not hesitated to authorise the application of such meaiis as were immediately available for that purpose. But assistance of this nature is necessarily limited in its extent, and can only be temporary in its effect. The possibility, therefore, of introducing any measures which, by assisting tlie improvements of the natural resources </ f fhe Cotinfry, riiay tend to prevent the recurrence <> f SfiCli evils, rtiust he a subject of the most anxioris intent fo riie, antl to you of the most gfaVC arid ca ut iota* delibc ra t ion. '* Local disturbances, unconnected with political causes, ha ve existed both in this part of the United Kingdom arid ih hVlarid ; iii the county of Clare, aud in the adjoining parts of RoscOimrion and Gal- way, a system of Violence and outrage Had for sortie time been carried ori fo ari alarming' exlent, for the suppression of which the Constitutional Authority of the Law has been vigorously arid successfully ex- erted. By these means tlie necessity of cnacting rieW laws fo strengthen the Executive Government With further powers will be preVerited. 44 To avert such a necessity has been, and ever will be, my most earnest desire', but, if it should unfor- tunately arise, I do not doubt, your firm resolution to maintain the peace and order of society, by the adoption nf such measures as may be required for their more effectual protection. 11 His Majesty having withdrawn, the House ad- journed until five o'clock ; when, af. er some discus- sion as to the forms of the House, the Address, having been moved bv the Duke of NORFOLK, was seconded by the Earl of MULGRAVE, each ofthe Noble Lords echoing the sentiments of the speech, and also de- claring their own unqualified approbation of the conduct of Ministersin regard tolhe Reform question The Earl of WINCIIILSFA said that, before he stated the vote which he intended to give on the address in answer to the gracious speech from the throne, he hoped their lordships would allow him to crave their attention for a few minutes, while he explained the grounds which induced him to address their lordships from that ( the opposition) side of the . house, and to withdraw the unqualified confidence and support which at one time he had been well in- clined, and which ( he assured the noble earl opposite) he was still sincerely desirous, to place in his Majes- ty's present government— a confidence not arising from auy communion of political sentiments which be entertained with many of those who now held seats in the Cabinet- not arising from a onion of sentiment with those who professed what are called Whig prin- ciples, many of which he had hitherto opposed, and should, to the last hour of his life, continue zealously and strenuously to oppose, from a conscientious con- viction that they were inconsistent with the best inte- rests, the security, the welfare, and the happiness of the country ; but the support which he had hitherto given, and vvas still desirous to give to the present administration, was founded upon the undeviating respect which he entertained for the public character of the noble earl at the head of the government, marked as it was by an honesty and consistency which had gained for that noble earl his ( Lord W.' s) public and private affection, because those were virtues which, in his opinion, had graced and adorned few who had filled the station now occupied by the noble earl. In making this declaration, and stating- the grounds which had induced him to withdraw his support from his Majesty's government, he could assure their lordships that he was influenced by no vain idea that his support was of the slightest conse- quence to the noble earl or to those who held office with him. He was fully aware that he had neither public or political weight he possessed, either in or out of that house, was derived not from any talent of his, but. from the honesty and consistency which— however erroneous might have been his opinions— had characterised his public life. ( Cheers j It was to preserve that consistency^ which was, above all things, so valuable to him, and by which he would stand or fall — and it was because he felt that he should be lost to all the best feelings of his heart if he did not state the motives by which he was actuated, that he took the present opportunity of explaining what had induced him to withdraw his confidence from his Majesty's advisers. On the great question ft hit h notv eh grossed all mirid § he had declared his opinions years ago. He had announced himself a reformer, and he was now consistent. It vvas not the question , of Reform which. separated him from his Majesty's government, but he d ffered from them on the bill which they had proposed; and, on the very morning after that bill was introduced into the other house of parliament, he had stated on paper— he had declared in a letter to a noble friend opposite-— his ' objections to the measure, and his determination to oppose certain parts of it ; and, in support pf his con- sistency, he would oppose them. He wotild honestly and fairly state that* on the two great constitutional questions of the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, and fhe passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, he had honestly thought— in which opinion, however, he confessed he had found himself egregi- ously deceived— that the great distinction which had characterised the two parties in the state— namely, Tories and Whigs, had ceased to exist; and that those parties vvere henceforward to keep in view only the preservation of the constitution and of the institu- tions of the country. He was far from imputing to the noble earl or his colleagues, for whom he enter- tained an unfeigned rcspect, that they were influenced by views hostile to those institutions. No; he believed that they were actuated by but one object— namely, that of promoting the best interests of the state; and whatever difference of opinion might exist between the two parties to whom he had alluded, he trusted that no bitter reflection would he Used by any, but that their deliberations would be condriCtCd with that candour, liberality, and dispas- sionate temper, which ought to characterise the councils' 6f the country. The differences to which he had alluded as existing between him and a great part, of those who possessed Whig principles, and which differences, he thought, had Ceased to exist, were these:— One Was, that a gfeat part of that body advocated ari extensiori 6f political liberty to a degree which, if it wefe carried, would, in his opi- nion, end in the total subversion of the equilibrium which ought t6 be maintained between the three parts of the state, and # hich had made this country the envy and admiration of all other nations. An- other great mark of distinction was, that a second great party of those who possessed Whig principles lost no opportunity of Countenancing and enforcing whatever could tend to weaken the Connection be- tween the Church establishment and the state, which he looked upon as the groundwork Of the great moral character that graced and adorned this country. Another great distinction between him and those to Whom he alluded was this, that while lie cotild rieVer cease to be actuated by ari earnest desire to uphold Protestant principles and Protestant institutions, a great body of that party had never set a just Value iip6ri those Protestant principles, which he boldly, in the face of that house and of the country, declared to be the foundation of all our civil and religious^ liberty, and of those national blessings which we had received from the hands of the Almighty. Could he look back to what had occurred within the last few months ? Could he recollect the daring and impious ; attack which had been made upon the Protestant religion and upori that house, the privileges! of which," however, their lordships Wo Old as Englishmen rieVer surrender? and riO man could prevent them from doing their dut^. Cfoild he, Without indignation, see these attacks made arid dountenhnCed by many, wlio from their rank and station in the cOuntry ought to have followed a different' course ? No man vvas a greater friend to the liberties, hrit none would be found a bitterer enemy to the licentiousness of tfie press than he was. He had seen those attacks Com- mitted by tliat part of the press which professed to be ministerial. He felt that he owed it to the public and private character which he enjoyed, that he should riot be charged with inconsistency in adhering t6 a party who, ririder tlie mask of amending abuses — and hefe he did riOt'irisiriuate that any men holding rank and station in society would liend themselves to such practices—- but there were soriie who, under the mask of correcting abuses, which, to a certain extent he was ready to admit existed, and he should be ready to give his assistance to correct them— were trying, in tlie present excited state of men's tffiiftds, to Overturn the remaining institutions of1 the country: arid to introduce anarchy and confusion in the state, and to establish republicanism upon the ruins of the constitution. To these designs he would give liis most strenuous hostility. There was one point upon which he doubted whether his Majesty's government would have the firmness to uphold ttie laws Of the country, and whether they would show that the established authorities were not to be set at defiance with impunity. Me knew it was said that the ACt of Parliament had expired. In fact, the individual had by a legal quibble procrastinated fhe judgment iVntil the expiration of the Act; but to allOw one of the most unprincipled agitators who had ever disgr'aCed a Country Cloud and- continued cheers)— yes, he said disgraced, and might his words be wafted far beyond these walls Cloud, cheers J— to allow such a man to escape was unpard6ri& ble. He said that the man who had instigated the unfortunate people in' arVother part of the empire it) 3et the law at defiance, had brought them to a state Of actual rebellion ; for, although it vvas said in the speech from the throne ( and would to God that he could think it well founded) that the disturbances in that part of the country had no political character; yet it Caswell known that the whole ofthe southern parts of Ireland were in a state of organization, and it could not be doubted that a design was entertained to overturn the PrOlestant institutions of the country. Although he gave to those who made concessions to public feeling credit for their motives, yet, seeing what was passing before his eves, he was now again what he had been before— a Protestant Tory of this country and he vvas convinced that others would follow his example, if they valued the consistency which marked and adorned their Character, and which gave a power and influence such as rank and property alone could riot eorifel'. With respect to the Speech he had a few observations fo make. He derived much satis- faction from that pari of it. which stated that it was not the intention of his Majesty's government to interfere with any form of government which Belgium might think proper to adopt, for he was" convinced that the more we kept aloof from interfering in the concerns of other states the better. Ai to the wretch- edness which prevailed in some parts of Ireland, that was a question in which all must feel a sympathy, and into which no party feelings could enter. He should take a fitter opportunity of stating fully his view when the question of reform was brought regu- larly forward; but he had f. It it due to himself, at present, to give this explanation of his sentiments. Earl GREY defended the conduct of the Govern- ment: as to himself, he undertook the government on the principle of proposing reform— not wilh a view to subvert the Constitution, but to preserve it ; not to assist the designs of those who were hostile fo the constitution, but to enable that and the other house of parliament to support tbe prerogatives of the crown, their own privileges, and tire liberties' of fhe country, against any measures which could be detrimental to them. He was a sincere adherent to the Protestant faith, believing the Protestant church to be the best church Which had ever existed in the world. He was a member of the Church of England ; but with respect to its ascendancy, he certainly wished to see the religion of the chflrch of England support- ed and extended by the purity of its doctrines, and by fhe excellence of its own exemplary conduct. For this purpose, he deprecated all religious distinctions, and here, he feared, all the difference between him and the noble earl existed. Lord WHARNCLIFFE expressed a hope that the great debates on which they were about to enter woufd be conducted without any personalities. They had a sacred duty to perform— a duty to the King and the country, and they would perform it. He knew that the country required to be told the truth, the plain truth, in a bold and temperate man- ner. The government would not find the opposition violent, buty putting aside al^ personalities, would confine themselves to what was necessary. Of the measure of reform he should speak as a matter of history. If the words of the King's Speech were adhered to, the bill could never again be brought forward. The bill would, indeed, do away with the improper influence of their lordships; but it would give sucii a degree of influence to the Com- mons, that that house would be annihilated. As to the address, he meant to give it no opposition. There was nothing in the speech for it, and nothing in the address which Called for an amendment. With good sense and much moderation the ministers had saitf nothing in praise of the dissolution; if they hadj ti6 powei- on earth should have kept him from moving an amendment. As to what happened at the late dissolution, fhat was as much a rriatter of history as anything that h£ d occurred in the reign of George the Second ; and he friust say* that it was wrong to take that step in srich a state of excitement. The noble 16td then adverted to the circumstance that the King's name had been used as favourable to the measure which he complained of, and said that that had contributed to the success of the elections. The preseut House of Commons, in consequence of the excitement, was a mere body of delegates sent to pass the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill; The noble lord also com- plained of the threatening language which had been used at the hustings, and of Yorkshire, naVing been deprived of an active aiid honourable man, well fitted to represent the countjf* who had voted for the Sill, but found something objectionable in its details. The members hud been sent to the house pledged to the bill. He did not say threatening language had been used, but language very like threats had been employed on various occasions. He really did not understand how men could get rid of the pledges they had given to their con- stituency respecting the £ 10 qualifieationj even if they should,- upon a deliberate review of the ques- tion, be induced to disapprove of it. At present he did not wish to discuss the question of reform. He should wait until lie saw w hat the new bill was, and he recommended the same line of conduct to the other noble lords who were hostile to the principles which were understood to have been promulgated in another place. He did not mean to debar himself from the right of tnaking observations respecting particular portions of the bill, on peti- tions, or upon other occasions; but he would not attempt to discuss the whole measure, and he thought it would be more consistent With the dignity of the house, if they did not attempt to d'scuss the whole measure until it was fully brought before them. It was a source of much pain to him to observe the situation in which that house would be placed if the other house should pass a measure to which they could not give their assent. They would undoubtedly be placed in a situation of ex- ceeding difficulty, and he most earnestly prayed that such an event never might arrive. There was undoubtedly a large body of persons in the country who were favourable to a measure of reform, most extensive in its nature; but if their lordships were satisfied that the plan submitted for their consider- ation was fraught with danger to the state, they had but one line to pursue— they must reject it. CCheers. J For his own part, he would rather return his situation as a simple English gentleman than uppott the bill, if it assumed as dangerous a form there as it had done in another place. ^ C/ ieery.^ was well and wise for their lordships to look for# afd.

J The existing impression ou his mind he deelared to be that it was.

C Hear.) He had rather see the house wiped away at once, than that it should drag on for a few years in impotence and contempt. CHear. J In conclusion, he said he had endeavoured to warn the house of the situation in which it was 1 kely to be placed ; but he trusted that no inter- ference, no Violence, no inordinate expression of feeling woOld be indulged in upon the part of auy noble lord, but that all would, with silent a'nxiety, await the arrival of this bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWN agreed in the hope that there would be no premature discussion of the great question of reform : but from all that he had heard and seen, and from all that he could collect, some change must* take place in the representation of the country. The Marquis Of LONDONDERRY complained of the'injury that' had been done to his house by the mob, on the night of the illumination* and charged fhe Secretary of State and the civil authorities with negligence ori that' occasion. Touching the Reform Bill,' he deClai'ed,- that never was there, in his opinion, a measure less called for, or more fraught with evil. He congratulated the government upon the ingenuity they had displayed iu the manu- facture 6f the speech from the Throne. The only tangible point in it-— the only point of any im- portance, was that about t'he cholera morbus. They were not threatened with the Reform Bill— they were nOt threatened with foreign or domestic war— they were onl$ threatened with the cholera morbus. Lord MELBOURNE defended his own conduct and that of the civil authorities on the occasion of the illumination. Instructions were given, and acted upon, to protect life and property to the utmost possible extent. The Earl of MANSFIELD said there wag nothing in the speech nor in the address ou which, as it appeared to him, parliament was called upon to express decided dissent. If any approbation had^ been introduced of the measure which occasioned the dissolution, he should have felt it his duty to have supported, if not fo have proposed an amend- ment. In his opinion the dissolution was wholly uncalled for, and wholly unjustifiable on the pretences advanced in its defence. The principles on which his Majesty's present government came into office were asserted to be non intervention, economy, and parliamentary reform— With respect to the first point, it did not appear on the face of the transaction that they had adhered to their principle in their conduct respecting Belgium ; but that would be a subject foi1 future discussion. With respect to the second point, it remained to be seen whether they knew how to strike the balance between prodigality and a just economy. And w ith respect to the third point, the bill which they had introduced was a sufficient specimen of their judg- ment. In the course of the discussions in another place on that bill, many gross errors and imper- fections had been pointed out. As to the threat which had been held out to their lordships, that the exercise of the King's prerogative would be re- sorted to in the creation of new peers* for the purpose of annulling their decision, should they reject that bill, he thought their lordships were not so degraded as to be influenced by & pch a menace. A great number of excellent persons Supported reform, but it was to be borne in mind, that every plan which sueh persons proposed had at least this peculiarity* that it received the support of all those who were most disaffected to the constitution. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the course taken by Government relative to the late dissolu- tion of Parliament; and Lord PLUNKETT denied that any compromise had taken place with Mr. O'Connell. The Address was then agreed to nem. cits. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER having read the King's Speech— the Hon. Mr. PELIIAM ( Member for Lincoln- shire) moved the Address thereon, and was se- conded by Sir J. JOHNSTONE ( Member for York- shire), Sir ROBERT PEE£ observed that the Speech and 1 o^ course the Address were so framed as to obviate all disagreement upon them ; but he conceived there had been no sufficient ground for the dissolu- tion of the late Parliament at such a period of excitement. The reSulf of the elections was such as to induce a belief that the present constitution of Parliament was not popular ; but he thought it the duty of the House to differ from all opiuions,' however popular, that they considered erroneous; and they who held unpopular opinions vvere not on that account the less faithful Servants of the public. If the opinions of the miuority were not popular, they were still bound to express them, and to point out the dangers of any measure, however popular that measure might be in the country. Lord MAHON, Mr. ATTWOOD, Mr. TREVOR, and Mr. TRANT, complained of the conduct of Ministers as to the dissolution of the late. Parliament, in the excited state of the country*, also did Mr: G. DAWSON and Sir R. BATE SON. Mr. SADLER referred to the state of Ireland, aud announced his intention of bringing forward a motion to introduce poor laws into that country. Mr. LAMB, Sir J. GRAHAM, and Mr. STANLEY defended the Government. Sir C. WETFTERFTLL avowed iVls intention to oppose the Reform' Bill fu every^ stage. He said he had been called the agent of the Duke of New- castle, but he was no more his agent than , the noble lord ( Russell) was the agent of the ministry. As long as their sentiments were the same, they acted together, as the noble lord acted with the Ministry ; and when they differed, the connection must be dissolved in the same manner. He trusted, therefore, fhey would heai* tio fiVore of the corrupt boroughmongers; for he was as little open to that charge as the Solicitor- General, who also sat for one of those boroughs, or the learned civilian ( Lushington), who had the good fortune to sit for two of theni. The Address was then agreed to nem. con. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. SADLER gave notice that lie would, on the 7th of Jul}', move a resolution to the effect that it vvas absolutely necessary to provide for the main- tenance of the poor of Ireland; also, that on the 14th of July he would move resolutions respecting the bettering of the condition of the poor of England. Mr. SLANEY gave notice that he would, on the 5th of July, submit a motion, having for its object the provision of open spaces of ground in the neigh- bourhood of large and populous towns for the recre- ation of the labouring classes. Sir W. W. WYNN presented a petition from the county of Denbigh in favour of the Reform & ill; and also a petition from Llanrwst against that part of the Reform Bill which referred to that town. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said that a stronger proof could not possibly be given of the feeling of the country with respect to the Reform Bill than the line of conduct the hon. baronet ( Sir W. W. Wynn) had found it necessary to pursue. No man could stand higher in the estimation of the County he represented than did the hon. baronet, arid yet, in order to obtain his election, the hon. baronet had found it absolutely necessary to pledge himself to the support of the prayer of the petition then before the house. Sir W. W. WYNN said, the hon. alderman is incor- rectly informed. I never pledged myself to any such thing. By my votes in this house I have proved that I am not opposed to a constitutional and reasonable reform in the system of representation, and to those votes I referred my constituents; but 1 expressly stated that I would not pledge myself to support any plan of the ministry, without haying a full opportunity of investigating that plan ; and I added, as schedules A and B then stood, they never could receive my support. I also told my constitu- erits that I was proud of being their representative, but that 1 never would consent to become their delegate. . The Lord Bishop of Bristol at his late visitation in tfiitt city, referred in his Charge to the subject of tithes, and gave an abstract of the bill before parliament for facilitating composition for tiijies and other payments to incumbents in ecclesiastical benefices in England and Wales, and which he observed authorises a com- position for twenty- one years, on fair and general prin- ciples. His lordship also intimated that some other regulations were projected respecting the chttrch, which were likely to give general satisfaction. POLITICAL UNIONS.— By foolishly hunting down a party of known conservative principles, with Ihe help of those whose principles are notoriously not conservative, the Ministers have thrown fmfnense obstacles in Ihe way of governing ifi peace or pro. sperity, be tbe Ministry Whig or Tory. It must be evident to persons of common sense, lhat with Poli- tical Union Clubs iu different parts of the kingdom, whether acting in formidable conceft, of in occa- sional opposition to each other, there must be per- petual " agitation," or perpetual dictation, aud on the side of government of submission, and lhat Conse- quently tile high interests, foreign and domestic, of this great countrj cannot be maintained. That the monarchy, constitutional monarchy, cannot stand— that the real power must be in the clubs— that this state of things cannot, never did last in any country, and leads only to the utter subversion of liberty, through scenes that make one shudder to think iipoff. One of the fifteen Judge? ( the magical number twelve is at an end) was lately drawu for the Militia ; and, strange to say, though practising barristers are exempt, judges are not, and his lordship, therefore was obliged to provide a substitute. The Committee of the Royal College of Physicians which met on Wednesday, have reported, " that the cholera may be communicated by infected persons fo those : n health ; but no information w hich had reached the committee justifies the suspicion that it is commu- nicated by merchandise. As a measure of safety, how- ever, the committee approve of the establishment of quarantine." This opinion has been transmitted to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The Government have, in consequence of the recom- mendation of the College of Physicians, and the view previously taken bj themselves, given orders that every possible precaution shall be used to prevent the introduction of cholera into this country. A Medical Commisson has been dispatched to Riga to examine the nature of the disease prevalent there, to inform go- vernment of its character, and to suggest the beat means of guarding against its introduction or ravages, if it should be considered infectious. They have also ordered the most rigid system of quarantine to be es- tablishcd over all vessels arriving from suspected Quar- ters ; and have written to all fhe Consuls in places af- flicted with the cholera, or the vicinity of such places, desiiing them to send home any information which may he of ut lty, either as to the prevention of the infection cr its best means of cure. Montreal papers to the 19th Ma? are in town, and are still taken up with observations and rejoicings on the defeat of the timber duties. A considerable quantity of wheat was shipping for the Mother Country, and af rather lower prices, but at higher rates of freight than reckoned upon, holders being anxious to make early shipments. A great increase of steam boats on the St. Lawrence had taken place, among which is the largest £ ver built, being of 1,350 tons, intended to tradK between Quebec and Halifax. From the successful locations of 30,000 emigrauts last year in Canada, at least 40,000 are expected this.

Many who have been induced ship themselves for the United States, eventually reach and settle in Canada, but at considerable loss of time and money, most of these people not knowing at the time of embarking any difference between the United States and the British provinces. Greenock presents at present an unusual bustle, Almost every steamer that arrives has her deck crowded with emigrants and their luggage. The emigration from the Highlands this year is unpre cedented. From three parishes in Argyllshire there are about 2,000 souls preparing to embark for America, and from Islay we bear that there are 1,000. It is generally supposed that there will not be a sufficiency of shipping to take all out this season. We will from time to time notice the gross amount of the emigrants that sail from Greenock, but many vessels are chartered to sail from ports in the Highlands, of which it will be probably difficult for us to obtain correct reports.— Glasgow Chronicle. We observe, in the New York Papers, that cargoes of Grain and Flour had already reached them from lake Erie, having come through the Wetland Canal, on the Canadian side, into Lake Ontario, and thence by the great Western Canal to Albany. Thus it seems that the passage can be made much earlier in the season than was anticipated. It is greatly to be lamented that Ministers should be so unacquainted wilh the localities of Canada, otherwise they surely could never have passed the late acts for reducing the protection of the inter Colonial Trade between the North American Provinces and the West Indies. A Continued exclusion of tbe United States from direct intercourse with the West Indies for one year longer would have made the trade our own— Quebec and not New York would have been the market for the productions of the Western States, as well as of the Biitish side of Lake Erie. Tbe facilities of bringing down produce from thenCfe by the Wetland Canal, and improved navigation of the St. Lawrence, would have made Quebec the cheapest market, and have given the internal charges, commission, and home freights to our own subjects. Were the extent of the import of corn and flour from the United States within the last four months calculated, it would show a most astonishitig national advantage given up for theoretical innovations. On Friday, a stout elderly personage, named Sarah Smith, of No. 2, Vine- street, Hatton- garden, was brought before Mr. White, by Inspector Tyrfelt Smith, of the L division, on the following charge The Rev. Dr. Ackland, of Stamford street, Black- frjars, and several of the most respectable inhabitants, attended before the magistrates, and it appeared from their statements tbat latterly several robberies IiajtJ been cofhmitted in ihe areas of the street, and plaie and various articles had been stolen ; but no person could be detected in I he theft. It was at last dis- covered that the prisoner was in the habit of calling On the servant. maids in the street, to whom she tolil the most flattering fortunes at a very low price ; and Such a favourite had she become in Stamford- street, that there was not a servant- maid in thfe street whose fortune she had told but was in a very short time to be richer and happier than her master and mistress. On account of the petty thefts which were continually committed, some inquiry was set oh foot, and the servants confessed that the " cunning woman" was a visitor at the different houses, when an application was made to Mr. Smith, the inspector, and the prisoner was apprehended. Rebecca Lusely, servant to Mr. Hodgkinson, of No. - IS, Stamford- street, from whose house a silver spoon had lately been missed ; Jane Marshall, servant to the Kev. Dr. Ackland ; and Ann Brown, servant to Mr. lleitch, were here desired by their masters to stand forward, which they did with a most reluctant grace, and hung down their heads. With some difficulty it was elicited that they had paid 6d. each, when they were all promised rich husbands in a few months, to have a large family, and die happy ; but tbat for 2s. 6d. the prisoner promised to cast their nativities by tbe moon and stars, which was sure to prove true, and they had agreed to have their nativities cast for that sum. Mr. Smith here produced a paper found on the old impostor, purporting to be the future fate of Jane Marshall. It was as follows ••— " You were born under a conjunction of Ceres and Jupiter ; you are, therefore, destined to be verv fortunate, for Ceres, your presiding planet, being considered the Goddess of Plenty by the ancient mythologists, and Jupiter the distributor of Wealth, you cannot, under such auspices, fail to be happy and prosperous— For know the bounteous stars to you decree Health, wealth, long life, and great felicity. In eight months and fourteen days from this time a tnan of fair complexion will lead you to the Hymeneal altar as his bride— in his name you will find the letters J. W. N. O. He will be a most affectionate husband, and very successful through life, and will come into the possession of considerable property about seTen years after your marriage. You will be the parent of five sons and four daughters, all of whom will be successful and prosperous; when they attain a proper age they will marry greatly to their advantage. You will live to see a numerous train of grand- children." Rebecca I. usely's future fate was in the same strain, only that she had the happiness to be born under the planet Juno, which was described as a most noble planet, but she was not to be quite so prolific as Jane Marshall, as she was only to be blessed with four sons and two daughters. The above details excited roars of laughter, to the mortification of the poor girls, who had been so grossly imposed upon, and who appeared to be very reluctant to doubt the truth of the half- crown pro- phecy. The impostor, in her defence, said that she did not think there was any harm in telling fortunes, antl hoped that the magistrate would consider her case. It appeared, however, that she was not able to tell her own fortune, for Mr. White said that be had con- sidered the case, and committed her for three months to the House of Correction. Mr. Parry's Seedling, Union, challenges any Black and While Pink in England for any sum ; and is allowed by superior judges to be the best ever yet grown. ftliereUameotts Intelligence. STATE OF TRADF.— The manufacturing districts may still be described as being in a better state than they have been for some time past j generally speak- ing there is full employment for the artisans and working bands. Wool began to decline in prices about six weeks ago ; and Cotton declined a little abo& t a fortnight since. There appears, however, to he a check to any furlher dc< line in price, respecting both these commodities; and with regard to Wool, there is more probability of a partial advance taking place, than of a further decline. The Americans have been the largest buyers in Lancashire and Yorkshire; indeed their purchases have been to such an extent, that this season may be described as one of their periodical speculations. They have again com- menced buying Wool in the London markets; and, in the present instance, have taken the better quali- ties of English wool, fit for flannels, the bulk of the purchases being of wools worth about 15d. per Iti. up to lt| d. There is, in fact, a speculation going on amongst the Americans, that must he succeeded by a re action, and at no distant day, by a panic, in the United States.— Circular to Bankers. It Was stated by Mr. Gould, at the late public meeting of shipowners, that the tonnage of Great Britain had decreased 400,000 tons in a few years, notwithstanding the astonishing increase of the popu- lation of the empire; and that in an equal proportion was the tonnage of the United States increasing, the tonnage of the United Slates amounting to 1,261,000 — a most wonderful and rapid approach to our own. Surely such an expose is worth the consideration of the British Cabinet, and more than ever justifies the opposition of those who saw no reason why the trade of our West Indies should be opened to a country the whole of whose tariff appears to be founded in a determination to encourage and protect ils own manufactures, and exclude those of Great Britain by euormous duties. MAGNIFICENT TOBACCO Box.— The Overseers' Tobacco Box of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John the Evangelist, of the City of West- minster, is now upwards of 118 years old, of the enormous weight of upwards of 501b and it is said to have cost, with all its additional ornaments, more than £ 2,000!! The box was originally a common horn box, bought, as tradition reports, at Horn Fair, by a Mr. Henry Monk, the then overseer, for tbe small sum of four pence. This gentleman usually brought the four- penny box with him to the tavern where the parish meetings were held, where the party smoked their pipes in friendly intercourse after the b'Jsiness of the day was over. The ornaments upon this tobacco box are all of silver, and have annually increased, so as to make it of the value as above stated, all succeeding overseers making some addition thereto, describing the most remarkable events of their year of office. This box is delivered to each succeeding overseer, with the following charge, by one of the churchwardens :—" This box and the several cases are the property of the past Overseers' Society, and delivered into your custody and care, upon condition that they are produced at all parochial meetings which you shall be invited to, or have a right to attend, and shall contain three pipes of tobacco at the least, under the penalty of six bottles of claret. And also upon further condition, that you shall restore the box with tbe several cases belonging to it, to the society in as good a state as the same now are, with some additional ornament thereto, at the next meeting after you shall go out of office, or sooner if demanded, under the penalty of two hundred guineas." The chairman then pro- prses as a toast, " the new overseers, willing them health to go through their office," which toast con- cludes the ceremony. From the manner in w hich the box and the cases are annually intrusted to the care of the different overseers, without control as to the nature of the ornaments to be added, or the artists who are to execute them, it cannot be expected that they should exhibit a uniform degree of merit. There are several, however, which display consider- able taste in design, and ability in execution; and amongst these it would be inexcusable to pass over, without particular notice, the portrait of bis Royal Highness tbe Duke of Cumberland, who having the command of the Royal Army at the battle of Culloden, in the year 1746, defeated the rebels, headed by the Pretender in person, and this put an end to the rebellion. This portrait and the charac- teristic illustrations are engraved on the inside of the lid of the original box, and were designed and en- graved by the celebrated William Hogarth, when in the zenith of his reputation. It must be observed that this tobacco box is, what it now is, at the sole expense of the original purchaser, Mr. Monk, and of the succeeding overseers of Saint Margaret and Saint John. MONEY- FINDING EXTRAORDINARY. Burton- upon- Trent, June 9.— For several days past a curious scene has presented itself at Tutbury, distant about five miles from Burton- upon- Trent, and noted for the ruins of its Castle. A new cut of water- course has been made, which has affected the height of the water in the regular course of the river ( the Dove). On this account it has been deemed necessary to lower the bed of the river immediately below the bridge. In doing this the labourers discovered, amongst the stones and gravel, a quantity of small pieces of coin, which proved to be silver, and of the feign of Edward the First. On more minute investi- gation it appeared as though one of the buttresses of the bridge, in a direct line from 40 to 50 yards, from the whole bed of the river, was one entire mass of coin. On Wednesday there were hundreds of la- bourers and others, up to their middle in water, with shovels and riddles, at work the whole day, exhuming this long- concealed treasure. It is not the slightest exaggeration to state that Upwards of 200 pieces - of silver coin have been brought up at one time in the shovel. On tlie most moderate possible calculation, more than twenty thousand pieces were found on Wednesday. Single parties found upwards of 1,500. The coins, which are evidently of the reign of Edward tbe First, appear to haVe originally been of the value of 4d. There are at least five distinct coinages of the same reign. The most common ( and of this there Sre at least 100 to one of the other kind) lias a front face of the above Monarch, the reverse having a cross, some with " London," and others " Canterbury," very legibly struck in the die. Another kind has also a full face of the Monarch, in a kind of triangle, " Edw. R." being very legible, the reverse, having a cross, some with " Dublig," and others " Waterford," struck in the die. The third kind has a profile of the Monarch, the coins are in a very good state of preservation. It Would appear as though a trench had originally been made, and filled with these pieces. The old inhabitants say that the present Course of the river is of modern date. When a large quantity has been dug up at a time, it was observed that they lay in a marly sub- stance, arid not in the gravel which forms the outer bed of tbe river. The pieces were sold at the onset at from 10s. to 12s. per hundred. On Wednesday even- ing the market had lowered to about 7s. 6d. per hun- dred. From 20 to 25 weigh an ounce, and the silver- smiths in Burton have been giving 4s. per ounce for them. A brass spur vvas found with a shovel- fuH of coins, evidently of the same antiquity. The truth of the above I can myself vouch for, having been an eye- witness to the facts. 1 purchased upwards of a hun- dred of the coins at a penny each ; but I was blamed exceedingly for my extravagance, though they must be worth double that sum for old silver. 1 never saw so strange a sight in my life as the people at work in the river— men, women, and children, all striving who should find the most. EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOR— TURF CHAR- COAL.— Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, in a letter to the Marquis of Lansdowne, calls his Lordship's attention to the many advantages which would arise by giving employment to the suffering poor of this country in the preparing of peat or turf as charcoal for the several purposes of iron and steel manufac- ture. Sir Thomas, it r. ppears, has had a series of experiments made with turf charcoal in the manu- facture of iron, the result of which has satisfied men of great science and skill in that important branch of our trade of its useful and extraordinary qualities. Its value consists in the absence of all sulphuric matter, and it has beeu proved, not only by lorifj practical experience of smiths residing in the neigh- bourhood of bogs, but also by recent experiments with a view to the application of this material, that horse- shoes, cutlery of Ihe finer class, gun barrels, and various other articles of iron and steel manu- factured with turf charcoal, possess properties of a very superior kind. After detailing a variety of experiments which have been made, Sir Thomas suggests to Lord Lansdowne the benefit which would accrue to a large portion of the labouring1 classes in Ireland, by tlte preparation of this article of fuel.— The bogs of this country would afford an inexhaustible source of supply; the capital it would require would be very trifling, and children, as well as adults, might find employment to an immense extent at a comparatively high remunera- tion.— Dublin Times.
